Abstract
Background: To establish castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) - Lncap androgen-independent (AI) cell line from Lncap androgen-dependent (AD) cell line, and explore the different molecular biological between these two cell lines.
Methods: The Lncap-AD cell line was cultured and passaged 60 times over 16 months. The morphology of the Lncap-AI cell line was observed. AR levels identification were detected in qRT-PCR and Western Blot assay. CCK-8, EdU assay, wound healing assay and cell adhesion assays were used to observe the ability of proliferation, migration, and adhesion. SEM and TEM were used to observe microculture structure. At last, the PSA secrete ability was evaluated by Elisa assay.
Results: The Lncap-AD cell line was cultured and passaged 60 times over 16 months. The Lncap-AI cell line showed a morphologic change at the end stage of culture, the cells turned slender and cell space turned separated compared to the Lncap-AD cell line. The relative levels of AR-related genes in the Lncap-AI cell line were up-regulation compared to the Lncap-AD cell line both in mRNA and protein levels. The expression of AR and HK2 proteins were influenced and down-regulation by Enzalutamide in the Lncap-AD cell line, but no obvious difference in Lncap-AI cell lines. Lncap-AI cell line showed strong viability of proliferation, migration, and adhesion by CCK-8, EdU assay, wound healing assay, and adhesion assay. The microstructure of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed many synapses in the Lncap-AI cell line and PC3 cell line, but not in the Lncap-AD cell line. At last, the PSA secrete ability was evaluated by Elisa assay, and PCa cell lines showed no significant difference.
Conclusion: Simulation of CRPC progression, Lncap-AD cell line turned to Lncap-AI cell line with androgen deprivation therapy.
